Hi all,
I have just registered here because I posted a comment to the Raven NJ article from Nils Jorgensen last week and since his answer made me more curious I wanted to share my problem and hope some of you can maybe help me with it.
In my comment to the Raven article I asked for what reason Nils is using monofilament as tying thread because I thought it is actually not very nice to use. However his answer was that it is a habit from him when he didn't know how to make a small head.
Now this is exactly where my problem lies. My heads when tying salmon flies, especially hair wing tube flies are quite often getting too big and I really would like to know what the trick is to get a nice and small head even if the fly has several layers of hair, hackles etc.
I also noticed for a while that I'm not the only one with this problem so it might be that this could even be a topic for an article to explain this secret.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Regards,
Tom
